There are several small but extremely exquisite villas at the westernmost edge of Sky Academy. They are close to the intersection of the river and the sea, far away from the arsenal training ground and teaching building. They are surrounded by the sound of water all day long and are extremely quiet.
This is the reception area of Sky Academy with the highest standards.
The final exercise of each session takes about ten days to half a month. During this period, some heavyweights who come to watch the ceremony are usually arranged here.
Gu Xingyun from Sky Academy has been here several times.
But this is my first time living here.
He used to like living in the Zijin Pavilion in Dongshan, Huating.
But now that the Zijin Pavilion has been violently destroyed by Li Tianlan, and he himself is injured. Under such circumstances, he just wants to ensure his safety and finish the exercise. In addition, he even steps out of the Sky Academy
No thought at all.
Although he has a bodyguard beside him who is even more powerful than he was in his heyday.
The hospital of Sky Academy is about two to three kilometers away from the reception area.
As night fell, Gu Xingyun and Li Xi walked side by side on the dimly lit path, each remaining silent.
The two walked quietly, neither fast nor slow, as if they were taking a walk.
walk...
Gu Xingyun has forgotten the last time he took a walk with Li Xi, just like he can't remember how long it has been since Li Xi smiled.
Step on the Li family, climb to the top of Zhongzhou, be glorious and glorious, and be known as the God of War.
But we share the same bed with the person next to us and have different dreams, and we are as close as ice to each other.
Gu Xingyun dislikes Li Xi more and more.
It's not that I don't love it, it's just that I simply don't like it.
Not just because of the shame she suffered on Kuangtu Li when she was with him.
And because she was by his side, Gu Xingyun often didn't know whether his life was a success or a failure.
Beauty is on your side and your power is overwhelming.
But he was not satisfied.
Can't feel proud.
So over the years, he went back to Kunlun City less and less, and even when he went back, he basically never left.
If she hadn't been seriously injured this time and needed her protection, Li Xi would have left the moment the team exercise ended.
"How is the rain on the river?"
Gu Xingyun suddenly broke the silence and asked.
Li Xi's footsteps paused, a flash of instinctive vigilance flashed in her eyes, and then she said numbly: "Very good."
"Is this the person you like?"
Gu Xingyun laughed.
"This is the most suitable person for Qingcheng."
Li Xi said: "Jiang Shangyu likes Qingcheng. I can confirm this, I like her very much."
I like it very much, very affectionately.
Li Xi had seen Jiang Shangyu look at Li Qingcheng a few times.
If there was no deep feeling in his heart, his eyes would definitely not exude that kind of brilliance.
"That's him."
Gu Xingyun nodded: "I respect your choice, but I will also respect Qingcheng's choice. I will let her be in contact with Jiang Shangyu for a period of time. If it is suitable, I don't mind betrothing Qingcheng to him."
Li Xi glanced at Gu Xingyun indifferently.
There was no emotion in her eyes.
Because she knew very well why Gu Xingyun did what he did.
Today, Li Tianlan has proven his strength and potential. Today, countless wealthy families in Central Continent and even the world are looking seriously at and even studying this rising talent.
Invincible combat power.
Although he is only twenty-two years old, with this kind of strength, how many people dare to treat him as a young man?
Li Tianlan's light is extremely dazzling.
But no matter how bright the bright moon shines, there will also be starlight around the moonlight.
Wang Shengxiao, who put aside his pride and would rather chase Li Tianlan's back, has his own light.
Jiang Shangyu, who has found his own path, also shines.
For Kunlun City, Gu Xingyun saw Li Tianlan's terror during today's exercise, but he also recognized Jiang Shangyu's value.
With Li Qingcheng by his side, what Kunlun City gains now is the Jiang family, and what it will gain in the future is an invincible master who is definitely not weak.
These are all benefits.
Nothing to impress.
However, compared to Li Qingcheng's original fate, this result seems to be much better.
Li Xi stared at Gu Xingyun's calm face.
After a long silence, she nodded and said, "Qingcheng will like it."
"Maybe."
The ancient saying is noncommittal.
There was another long silence between the two.
The small villa Zhuang Huayang arranged for Gu Xingyun was already in front of him, but Gu Xingyun did not go in. He just sat casually by the river, watching the river in his sight merge into the sea and rush forward.
The river and sea glowed in the night.
The light was reflected in Gu Xingyun's pupils, and his eyes looked extremely far-reaching and vast.
At this moment, Li Xi keenly noticed that Gu Xingyun's whole person exuded a completely different aura than usual.
His injuries were still serious and nearly fatal.
But his spirit seemed to have jumped to a higher level.
"Do you want to leave me?"
Gu Xingyun suddenly asked.
Li Xi's body suddenly tensed up and she stared at Gu Xingyun with great vigilance.
She never thought that this man would let her go, and naturally she never thought about leaving.
"I'm tired of these years."
Gu Xingyun looked at the merging rivers and seas in his sight, and said calmly: "If you have had enough of your current life, I can give you a chance. After Qingcheng gets married, I will keep your sword and martial arts, and you can follow her
Go ahead."
"Do you think I will believe you?"
Li Xi stared at Gu Xingyun, a hint of contempt gradually appearing in her eyes.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Gu Xingyun's tone did not fluctuate at all: "Of course I don't want you to leave. But if it goes on like this, it actually means nothing. Over the years, I have insulted you and scolded you, and I have done a lot of wrong things. It's not that I am as petty as I am. I
I just feel that you are no longer the Li Xi who was with me in the beginning, so I can't accept it. After so many years, we have Qingcheng, and I keep you by my side just because I want you to return to the way you were at the beginning.
, That kind of Lixi is what I like best. A woman who can get close to Li Kuangtu for me..."
Gu Xingyun's face twisted, and then he laughed at himself: "But now it seems that it is impossible to go back to the past."
Li Xi was silent for a long time.
"She's dead."
After a long time, Li Xi said softly: "The Li Xi in your heart died with Li Kuangtu when the sword pierced his chest. Those who survived are just zombies without faith."
"died?"
Gu Xingyun stared at Li Xi's face: "Is Kuangtu Li dead?"
Li Xi did not answer, but said calmly: "Li Xi is also dead."
"oh."
Gu Xingyun laughed, and the plainness in his eyes disappeared little by little, becoming cold and vicious: "It seems that you really loved him."
"I loved you."
Li Xi whispered: "It was just a long time ago. I love him until now."
The stars shine all over the sky and are reflected in the river.
Li Xi stood quietly, with her long hair flying and her white skirt fluttering. She was beautiful, but without the slightest trace of life or mortal air. She was like a statue without the slightest breath of life, lifelike but without a soul.
She stared at the stars in the river with empty eyes for a long time, then smiled sadly and said: "Actually, I don't blame you for bullying and scolding me over the years, just like I never fight back. Many times, I feel that you are
That's right. I am indeed a bitch, a bitch, otherwise how could I really fall in love with two men? Everything I have endured this year is what I should bear."
Her smile gradually widened in the night: "I'm sorry for many people. I can still have this kind of life now. What else am I not satisfied with?"
"You are indeed sorry to many people."
Gu Xingyun's eyes were cold.
"But I'm not sorry for you."
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun with stubborn eyes.
"You betrayed me and still said you weren't sorry for me?!"
Gu Xingyun's face suddenly twisted, as if he had been stimulated by something, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "Bitch! You betrayed me, it's betrayal!"
"It was you who made me betray. If you hadn't let me get close to Kuangtu Li, I would have always been by your side. No matter if you succeeded or failed, I would have been with you, married you, and given you children.
Instead of marrying Kuangtu Li, it’s not..."
"Shut up!"
Gu Xingyun interrupted Li Xi's words with a low growl. His eyes were as cold as winter, without any warmth.
Li Xi looked at him with mocking and sarcastic eyes.
"Go away. After getting married in Qingcheng, leave your martial arts behind and go as far away as possible."
Gu Xingyun silently took out a cigarette and lit it. When the cigarette was burned out, he said in a hoarse voice while coughing.
"when?"
Li Xi asked expressionlessly.
"In a few years."
Gu Xingyun's tone was indifferent.
In a few years, after he recovers from his injuries, he will truly reach the top of the Invincible Realm. At that time, Kunlun City will no longer need Li Xi, who has an ambiguous position, or even Gu Qianchuan. He alone can support it.
Starting from the entire Kunlun City.
That is his own glory.
Leaving?
It would be best for this kind of woman who represents his shame to get away as far away as possible.
"good."
Li Xi nodded.
She looked into the distance and her voice was very soft.
Because it is light, it is soft.
Gu Xingyun looked at her.
She finally saw a touch of relaxation on that beautiful face that had been numb for many years. It was the longing and yearning after being surrounded by freedom.
Gu Xingyun's heart kept sinking.
But a rage that swallowed up all his sanity kept gushing out, almost covering his whole body.
"What are your plans after freedom?"
Gu Xingyun suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly.
"Atonement."
Li Xi said quietly that she would go to many places, including Dongdao and Tiandu.
Just want to atone for my sins.
"Atonement?"
The anger in Gu Xingyun's heart finally broke out. He laughed, and his smile was extremely cold: "Yes. You can do whatever you want. Li Xi, I have been focusing on seeking enlightenment recently, and I plan to invite Master Xuanxuanzi to be by my side to answer my questions.
, what do you think?"
Master Xuanxuanzi...
Li Xi's body shook violently, and his face suddenly turned pale.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at Gu Xingyun.
She seemed angry, but that anger was not a hysterical outburst, but a kind of powerless despair.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Li Xi asked.
"Threatening you."
Gu Xingyun looked at Li Xi and said in a light tone: "I can give you freedom. But that will be a few years later. As for the past few years, as the wife of the city lord of Kunlun City, you must fulfill your responsibilities."
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun, her body trembling and becoming weaker.
"Let's go to Snow Country."
Gu Xingyun squinted his eyes and laughed: "With such a big thing happening in the Reincarnation Palace, Li Tianlan will definitely go to the Snow Country. Oh, I heard that Tiandu Purgatory is also in the Snow Country? Gee, God, I hate this title. I
I don’t want to know who he is, but you are going to Snow Country on behalf of Kunlun City this time, and they are all enemies."
"I will select a group of elites for you. In addition to getting our interests in the Snow Country, I also want the heads of these two people. Li Tianlan. God. Neither of these two people can survive, do you understand?"
Li Xi's body fell softly to the ground, her whole body like an empty shell that had lost its soul.
"After what happened last night, I will not harass Master Xuan Xuanzi. You are free, and so is Qingcheng."
Gu Xingyun looked at Li Xi with a smile: "Killing two people is not difficult for you, right? It's not like you haven't killed before, it's just killing once."
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun blankly, powerless and desperate.
Gu Xingyun reached out and patted her still tender face.
He looked into her eyes and said calmly: "It's so pitiful."
...
Imperial Soldier Mountain.
The night is rainy and hazy.
After the exercise, Wang Tianzong returned to Beihai directly from Huating without any delay. He took Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci back to Dibing Mountain as quickly as possible.
Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci were seriously injured.
Especially Wang Shengxiao, whose injuries can be said to be the most serious among everyone.
After Wang Tianzong sent Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci to the dormancy room in Emperor Bing Mountain as quickly as possible, it was not until night fell that Wang Shengxiao's life characteristics slowly stabilized and he was out of danger.
Wang Tianzong calmly put away the immortality potion that was ready to be used at any time, and looked at the nutrition cabin in front of him.
This is a wide vessel four to five meters long. It is tightly fitted and the whole vessel shines with a strange metallic luster. There is an oxygen outlet at the front of the vessel, but otherwise the whole vessel is completely sealed.
Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci were half-lying in the vessel, holding hands, their bodies surrounded by precious gene potions. They had their eyes closed, as if they were sleeping, and their breathing was becoming more and more steady.
"never mind."
Xia Zhi stood next to Wang Tianzong, looking at the young man and woman in the vessel with soft eyes.
Wang Tianzong hummed.
"The Song Ci thing won't be too troublesome, right?"
Xia Zhi suddenly asked.
Song Ci's injury is not a big problem.
But the problem is that she originally abstained before the exercise, but ended up appearing in the lineup besieging Li Tianlan. This is also breaking the rules.
"It's not a big problem."
Wang Tianzong shook his head: "They have already won, and they will not hold on to such a trivial matter. I guess they have all focused on me now, and the little girl's matter is nothing."
He looked at Song Ci and suddenly smiled and said, "This kid is pretty good."
"It's really good."
Xia Zhi also laughed: "Poetry is also good. Tang poetry and Song poetry. Both daughters-in-law are very good."
Wang Tianzong glanced at his wife, took her hand, and drove back to the Emperor's Palace.
The lights were on in the Imperial Palace.
The information was still on the coffee table in the hall. After Xia Zhi read it, it was never touched again.
Wang Tianzong glanced at the information and looked at Xia Zhi.
"Let's take a shower first."
Xia Zhi said softly: "The matter has passed, there is no need to rush for the time being."
"Let's talk first."
Wang Tianzong shook his head and straightened his wife's hair that was wet by the rain.
Xia Zhi pointed at the information on the coffee table and frowned subconsciously: "I can't explain clearly. I don't understand many things. But you should take a look at that information. If that information is true, then Li Tianlan
I really can’t move. At least not for the time being.”
Wang Tianzong waved his hand.
The document on the coffee table suddenly flew up and landed in his hand.
"What Qin Weibai left behind?"
Wang Tianzong asked.
Xia Zhi nodded: "You watch first, I'll make tea for you."
"good."
Wang Tianzong sat on the sofa and opened the information in his hand.
Xia Zhi walked to a small hall and selected some scented tea, and boiled the water slowly. It took about twenty minutes. After she estimated that Wang Tianzong had seen enough, she returned to the hall with a tea cup in hand.
Wang Tianzong was still sitting, holding the information, his posture had not changed at all from before she left.
Xia Zhi glanced at her husband's face.
Under the soft light, Wang Tianzong's face was tense and his brows were furrowed.
His eyes were still calm, but upon closer inspection, there was an unconcealable irritability.
This emotion is very subtle, but yet so obvious.
The Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou, the patriarch of the Beihai Wang clan, has never shown such obvious negative emotions in the past many years.
Xia Zhi placed the tea in front of Wang Tianzong and sat quietly beside him.
Wang Tianzong's palms holding the information became tighter and tighter.
Just when he was about to lose control of his emotions, Xia Zhi's voice sounded.
"Drink some water first, why are you so angry?"
Wang Tianzong glanced at her, smiled reluctantly, and reached out to pick up the tea cup.
The coldness rose in his palms, and a cup of scalding tea instantly became cold.
Wang Tianzong drank the tea in one gulp.
"Everything in the information is true, right?"
Xia Zhi asked softly.
Wang Tianzong nodded silently.
He was silent for a long time and then said: "Where did the information come from?"
The information comes from Qin Weibai.
Of course, this goes without saying.
But what Wang Tianzong was wondering was, where did Qin Weibai get this information?
There is not much to say in this document, but a lot less to say, but the content is extremely simple.
The entire document records more than 60 projects invested by Beihai Wang Group around the world with investment amounts exceeding tens of billions.
Among the largest projects, the investment amount has exceeded 100 billion.
More than sixty projects cover a wide range of fields, including steel, petroleum, minerals, military industry, real estate, finance, automobiles, roads and bridges, civil aviation, ships, new energy...
Covered in countless fields.
Qin Weibai's information provides some of the most obscure things in each project, or the most cutting-edge technology.
This is simply the biggest clue.
Wang Tianzong can be sure that if this information did not appear here, but was completely exposed, within a month, Beihai Wang's investment in various places would have directly lost at least nearly one trillion yuan, and its major listed groups and multinational groups
The evaporated market value is even more unimaginable.
The most critical thing is that once this information is made public, the Beihai Wang Group will lose the trust of a considerable number of partners, and the overall economic strength of the Beihai Wang Group will suffer an unprecedented blow.
All these consequences have affected the Imperial Army Mountain, and it is definitely not only the Wang family in Beihai that will be affected, but tens of millions of people in the entire Beihai Province.
Beihai Province belongs to Zhongzhou, but this most special province actually belongs to the Wang family of Beihai.
Wherever Beihai people go around the world, they will say that they are Beihai people, not Zhongzhou Beihai people.
Among all the provinces in Central Continent, only the people in Beihai Province now have this kind of pride.
This is equivalent to a quite thorough one country, two systems system. The independence of Beihai Province far exceeds that of any autonomous region in Central Continent.
Once the Beihai Wang family's economy suffers a heavy blow, it will be a complete disaster for the Beihai Province.
The allowances for the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Navy Regiment have been reduced.
Military budget cuts.
The salary of Beihai civil servants has been reduced.
Budget cuts for various cutting-edge scientific research projects.
The funds of various intelligence agencies and special warfare agencies of the Beihai Wang family have been reduced.
Beihai Bank raises interest rates.
Taxes increase.
Inflation...
Etc., etc.
Of course, to some extent, this situation may not happen.
As long as Wang Tianzong asks for help from Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou will not hesitate to provide a large amount of support, but it will also not hesitate to take away part of the leadership of Beihai Province.
Whether it was the possible disaster or the consequences of asking for help from Zhongzhou, Wang Tianzong could not accept it.
Absolutely unacceptable!
The consequences could be disastrous?
If he killed Li Tianlan today and Qin Weibai made all this information public, what consequences would be unimaginable?
But the question is, where did Qin Weibai get this information?!
Where did you get it?!
Wang Tianzong's inner irritability continued to surge, and his eyes became extremely cold.
"Over there at Qing Lei..."
Xia Zhi reminded him calmly.
"Won't."
Wang Tianzong shook his head: "He doesn't dare to joke about the foundation of Beihai Province. And even if he is really willing to give it, he doesn't know most of the things in it."
Xia Zhi wanted to say something more, but then shook her head.
The current economy of the Wang family in Beihai is controlled by Tang Shi. Many top-secret projects are only known to her and Wang Tianzong.
But it is also impossible for her to betray the Beihai Wang family.
It's absolutely impossible.
So where did Qin Weibai get this information?
Wang Tianzong took a long puff of cigarette and said nothing.
This information can be said to be an absolute trump card, and its weight is even more useful than several invincible realms standing in front of Wang Tianzong.
"fine."
After smoking a cigarette dully, Wang Tianzong threw away the cigarette butt: "At least it's a good thing that this information has not been made public."
"Is there no other way?"
Xia Zhi looked at Wang Tianzong.
The information has not been made public.
But this information is like a sharp sword, in the hands of the enemy, it really makes people sleepless and sleepless.
"Of course there is a way."
Wang Tianzong shook his head: "But Li Tianlan may have to live for a while longer."
He tapped the information in his hand: "The problems here are more complicated. Many of them are behind-the-scenes operations and power-money transactions. Once they are made public, the reputation of the Beihai Wang family will decline and their strength will be damaged. The Beihai Wang family will have many twists and turns, and we will continue to do so."
She offended a lot of partners with good relationships. Many of Shishi's operating methods are relatively radical, but they have quick results and huge profits. The key is that she does it very safely. Even if there are some problems, they will not be known to others, and they should not be known to others.
."
"But Qin Weibai knows."
Xia Zhi said softly.
"I'm also wondering about this question."
Wang Tianzong said: "But it doesn't matter. Everything written in this document is all hidden dangers. This is indeed the most deadly threat, but since it is a hidden danger, it can naturally be eliminated. But I need time, at most half a year, before the above problems will disappear.
is the problem."
He looked at the information in his hand and whispered to himself: "So what if we just let him live for half a year longer?"
He threw the information on the table, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Xuan Ming's number directly.
"His Majesty."
On the phone, Xuan Ming's tone was calm.
"There is something that you should check for yourself."
Wang Tianzong said.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Xuan Ming's voice remained unchanged. Although he has been less involved in the specific operations of the intelligence agency over the years and is only responsible for controlling the overall situation, this does not mean that his ability has declined.
"Check up on Qin Weibai. There is something wrong with this person. Within a month, I will ask for all her information. I will dig into it carefully. Since she was a child, doesn't the information say that she was born in the southwest? Then start from the southwest twenty years ago.
Start checking."
Wang Tianzong said in a calm tone: "I want all her information. Just go ahead and do it at all costs!"...
